[QUOTE="Bigolac, post: 236793, member: 18782"] Ok - So I got a little lucky today... I'm in the habit of going to antique stores/thrift shops, and happened upon an old Nikon film body. I didn't have the 7000 with me, so I wasn't sure if it would fit or not, but it turns out it does. The body is pretty wasted, but there is a 50mm 2.0 lens - all manual. I'll have to do some digging on what it's called, but there is a metal bracket of some sort on the aperture ring - must be for some type of automatic metering?!? Just tried it out tonight, and here's as close as I can get: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4ZHwOfS.jpg[/IMG] I'm certainly not afraid of manual lenses - I grew up on a SRT101 and a K1000 back in the day.... It's fun fiddling around I always thought... This is not as close as I would like to get, of course, but maybe some cheap extension tubes would work fine. - Adam [/QUOTE]
